Synopsis

Holland St. James is a graduate student in a folklore seminar, Folklore 517, taught by a woman known only as the Professor. Holland believes magic is real and is writing a thesis arguing that some of Hollywood's most infamous deaths were murders committed by the devil. Her research leads her into a dangerous world of century-old secrets in modern Los Angeles, where a deadly ultimatum sends her searching for an object called the Alchemical Heart. A stranger says he was sent to save her life, but everyone around her, him included, may be lying. Two men want the magic she is chasing, and it could change or destroy her life.
